When gnome2 port is finished installing, it prints a short message
containing http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/ link. If you go there and click
FAQ, one of the entry deals with FAM and points to that pkg-message.

Yes it's a bit cumbersome.

We (FreeBSE GNOME Team) is hoping to move soon to gamin, an alternative
fam implementation, which works out of the box.
